A Handsome Monument.

There is a very handsome double monu
ment of Italian marble, fifteen feet high,
in Thornrose Cemetery, recently erected
by Hon. A. Ell. FL. Stuart. It is over the
grave of his wife, and is to serve for him
when his life, which has been SO useful to
his country, shall close. From a marble
block springs two columns, surmounted
by two urns. A running vine of ivy, in
terspersed with oak leaves, connects tie
two columns. On one face is carved the
name of Mrs. Stuart who is already buried
beneath) with the date of her birth and
, death, and by its side is the name Of MIR.
Stuart with date of birth, with the date OF
death left blank. On another face is car
we'd beautiful and touching tribute to
Mrs. Stuart, and on the third is carved the
following list Of the positions in which the
distinguished statesman has served his
people: Member Of House of Delegates;
Of the 9th Congress Of the Senate Of
Virginia Secretary of the Department Of
the Interior Member Virginia Conven-
ton of 1861 Rector of the University of
Virginia Trustee OF the Peabody Educa
tiopal Fund President of the Historical
Society Of Virginia. The record of a
long and distinguished life which we trust
may be long spared to the people of this
and is the second one ordered, the first
having been broken in putting it on board
the ship.

DIVIDEND OF THIRTY PER CENT.
DECLARED.
The Baltimore Sun says that the Old
Dominion Manganese Company of Balti-
more City, which has just announced q
dividend of thirty per cent. on its capital
stock, was incorporated September q,
1885, by Messrs. George Somerville Norris,
Chas. K. Harrison. Andrew Banks, John
R. Kelso, Jr., VIM. Norris, Frank Della
Tore and Richard S. Culbreth. The cap
ital stock is $50 900, divided into one thou
sand shares of $50 each. The stock is all
held in Baltimore. The company was or
ganized by Messrs. G. S. Norris and An
drew Banks, vino bought 900 acres of land
adjoining the Virginia Manganese Com
pany's property on thu west slope Of the
Blue Ridge mountain, about seven miles
from Waynesboro' in Augusta county,
which was being largely operated By
Carnage, brother 6 Co.. CT -Pit5sburg,

close to those of the Virginia Company's
mines, and after Gre was found the Old

to the Messrs. Carnage Oh terms which
have yielded the returns for the dividend
just declared. The Messrs. Carnage have
expended S1SO000 in machinery at the
mines, and it is said will employ 900 hands
next spring. They are now taking out
100 tons of ore day from the Virginia
NINE The ore IS said to be superior to
that from the Caucasus mountains of Rus
sia, Heubla, in Spain, or from New Zea
land or Turkey. One hole drilled on the
Old Dominion property penetrated % feet
through the Gre. Other holes are being
drilled. The persons interested IN the
mine, among whom are ex-Mayor Ferdi-
nand q. Latrobe and Mr.. Samuel Snow
den, in addition to the incorporators, are
very much encouraged at the prospect.
Manganese is very hard metal, largely
used in making steel. Il is mixed with
iron to give hardness and elasticity in the
steel-making process. 1t is also used
chemically.

Bishop Whittle on the Changes in the
Prayer Book.

The clergy of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in this, and other dioceses, have
been at a loss to decide what constitutes
the official setting forth of the changes in
the prayer book made by the late Conven-
ton at Chicago. Rev. Charles L. Hutchins,
the Secretary of the House of Deputies of
the Convention, has written reply to in
qulries in which he holds that they have
been already officially set forth, and quotes
the report of the committee on amend.
ments to the constitution, made on the
last day of the session of the recent Gen.
eral Convention, to wit: Certain altera-
tions and additions In the prayer book
having been acted upon in the General
Convention of 1883, and by resolve thereof
made known to the convention of every
diocese. and adopted at this subsequent
General Convention, have become, and are
now, part Of the prayer-book." Bishop
Paret of Maryland holds that this does
not constitute an official setting forth of
the changes. and Bishop Whittle of Vir-
gina who holds with him, has addressed
the following circular letter to the clergy
of this diocese:
To the Clergy of Virginia.:
REV. AND DEAR BRETHREN.-I take
this method of replying to the question
which some Of you have addressed to me,
"Wnat are we to do in regard to the
changes in the Prayer Book which were
consummated by the last General Conven-
tiun 20
presume you have received from the
Secretary Of the House of Deputies two
publications, the one entitled, "Altera-
tions and Additions in the Book OF Com
mon Prayer (officiaD" and the other,
The Order for Morning and Evening
+ Prayer and the Litany." In my judgment,
these documents (''ordered by the House
of Deputies') are issued without legal au-
thoritY and are of no binding force what
ever. l see nothing, therefore, that we
Can do except entirely to ignore them, and
until a duly authenticated copy OF the
alterations and additions is set forth

church as we have been accustomed TO do,
and as is prescribed by the ru0rics.

The Mendelsshon Quintette, Wednesday

NED HAZARD.

1Ho MISUNDERSTOOD eyulutott6s w ouuoSuay
Night.
This famous Quintette had Staunton's
best audience, Wednesday night, in which
was included large attendance of pupils
from the Female colleges. The music was
superb as was TO have been expected, for
it was the sum Of the daily laborious prac-
tice of talented artists, of long years dura-
ton. II we might select a single gem from
the parure, the 9TH piece on the pro-
gramme, Love Song by Taubert and
b Adieu to Naples by Schuster, composed
for the Quintette, was simply exquisite.
The clarinette solo by Mr. Ryan and the
flute solo by Mr.. Schade were beautiful,
but the musical marvel of the evening, in
point of execution, was the cello solo by
Mr.. Blumenberg. Not the least pleasure
Of the evening was the fact that the large
audience, with the fewest exceptions,
were thoroughly in harmony with the per-
formers, and Listened with appreciative
enjoyment.
